Pros
- Returning to Blasphemous 2 has overall been an amazing experience though as the quality of that game outshines everything else I've played recently on the metroidvania side of things.
- On my list, the next best are: Salt and Sanctuary, The Last Faith, Voidwrought, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree, Solateria, and Blasphemous 2.
- This is the best microvania ever made and it is the best metroidvania that I've played since Blasphemous 2 (without DLC).
- Generally positive public reception. Should have an extremely positive public reception at around 95%. : This MV initially came out to an extremely positive public reception, ultimately becoming metroidvania of the year 2023. ... The bas...
- The highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Blasphemous came out and was able to meet the expectations of everyone except the hardcore fans of the original who felt that the game deviated a little too much from its predecessor. Unlike...
Cons
- I played the sequel earlier this year and, whilst it really was a great game, the DLC introduced a bunch of bugs which made tracking completion very difficult. ... I am still annoyed that the devs ignored a bug for so long, even though t...
- never did end up finishing the game, and if the boss after that is even worse I don't think I ever will sadly. It's really a shame, the game is super awesome aside from that.
- The combat's great - it's satisfying, enemies are not annoying... The exploration's great... The presentation's obviously fantastic as well. The game hooked me like no other has in a long time... but then I got to the second to last boss...
- The biggest knock at Blasphemous II is the difficulty spike right at the end. ... My problem is that both plot threads culminate with bosses who are incredibly fast. Like fighting a Bloodborne monster at the end of Dark Souls. Their high...

I played the sequel earlier this year and, whilst it really was a great game, the DLC introduced a bunch of bugs which made tracking completion very difficult. ... I am still annoyed that the devs ignored a bug for so long, even though the community was frequently reporting it (I think it impacted everyone), but somehow I ended up walking away from the game feeling glad that I played it.
This is the best microvania ever made and it is the best metroidvania that I've played since Blasphemous 2 (without DLC).
Generally positive public reception. Should have an extremely positive public reception at around 95%. : This MV initially came out to an extremely positive public reception, ultimately becoming metroidvania of the year 2023. ... The base game is still excellent though, just go buy it and ignore the DLC and its reception.
Generally positive public reception. Should have an extremely positive public reception at around 95%. : This MV initially came out to an extremely positive public reception, ultimately becoming metroidvania of the year 2023. However, later a poorly recieved DLC came out. The developers were never able to fix the reception of the DLC and so when the game began to be bundled with the DLC as a purchasable combo, new customers rated the whole package as the game, instead of the base game itself, slowly causing the public reception to decline to being generally positive instead of extremely positive. The base game is still excellent though
The highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Blasphemous came out and was able to meet the expectations of everyone except the hardcore fans of the original who felt that the game deviated a little too much from its predecessor. Unlike the previous game which was a 2D soulslike that only felt like a metroidvania, this is a true metroidvania.
Blasphemous 2 - fantastic. Couldn't get into the first one but this one is brilliant. Mea Culpa stuff is definitely meh tho
Silksong, Nine Sols, HK, Blasphemous 2, PoP are incredible!
In order. Silksong, Mio, PoP, Aeterna Noctis, Depths of Sanity, Nine Sols, Hollow Knight, Ender Lilies, Dragonloop, Blasphemous 2.
